Home Delivery

Who is qualified for this service?
Waukee Public Library’s Home Delivery service provides library materials to Waukee residents who are unable to visit the library due to temporary or long-term illness, disability, or special circumstances. Home Delivery participants must reside within the Waukee city limits and be eligible for a library card.

What Library materials are available and what is the cost?
Materials available for delivery include all Waukee Public Library materials with the exception of “New” items and DVDS. Home Delivery participants can have up to 10 items each month. A librarian can recommend titles based on your preferences or you may request specific titles or books by your favorite authors, subject to availability. By participating in the program, you agree that the library will keep track of the titles we have checked out for you previously. However, you may receive titles you have already read. This is a free service provided by library staff and volunteers.

When are books delivered?
Deliveries are made the first Monday morning of each month by dedicated library volunteers. At the same time, volunteers will collect materials from last month to return to the library.

How do I sign up?
You may call Waukee Public Library at 515-978-7944

What are my other options?
As an alternative to this program, you may prefer to have library materials selected and delivered by a friend or family member. With your permission, library staff can authorize use of your card by a person of your choice.
